Look no further than the Angel at Hetton for a dreamy romantic getaway with Michelin-star dining in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Managed by two-star Michelin chef Michael Wignall and his wife, Joanna, this heavenly treat provides the quintessential experience that combines celestial comfort, class, and incomparable cooking.

Rooms
A friendly staff member warmly greeted us at reception and escorted us to our room. The Angel at Hetton offers 16 uniquely designed rooms, situated in either the main building or the Fell View Barn house. Each room boasts a fully stocked mini-bar and branded bathrobe for your comfort and relaxation. The décor seamlessly blends rustic charm with contemporary elements, featuring exposed beams and an open-plan layout. The romantic ambience is accentuated by amenities such as a freestanding bath and rainfall shower, offering picturesque views of Ryestone Fell.

Michelin Star Dining
Chef Michael Wignall is undeniably a culinary mastermind, earning two Michelin stars, four AA rosettes, and high accolades in the National Restaurant Awards. Our experience of his tasting menu was nothing short of glorious.
The 8-course tasting menu, technically 9 with the extra sweet treats, unfolded over a perfectly timed 3-hour sitting. With a vast selection of wines from around the world, each dish was expertly paired. Our Front of House Assistant, Jack, eloquently explained every aspect before we eagerly indulged.
It’s astonishing how Chef Wignall transforms simple ingredients like carrots and artichokes into culinary masterpieces. From roasted carrot tartare to artichoke fondant with winter truffle, each dish was a revelation. Though it’s hard to choose a favourite, the pear and hazelnut ingot with frozen Doddington cheese left a lasting impression with its harmonious blend of sweet and savoury.
Every plate showcased meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every bite was a symphony of flavours. The exquisite presentation compelled us to savour every mouthful, making it an experience we wished would never end.

Breakfast time
I had underestimated breakfast, expecting a simple buffet after the lavish dinner, but I was pleasantly surprised. The class and quality persisted until checkout.
